[Sun Jian]: Haha, your nephew is incredibly sharp – more so than my military advisers, that much is true.(“…smart beyond zenith…”)

[?]: To have such ability at this young age, he really does put us to shame.(“…make us sweat faces…”)

[?]: Looks like the descendants of Master Sun are not the only ones able to decipher his “Art of War”.

[YF]: There are no shortage of people studying his “Art of War” because it’s world-renowned.

[YF]: It has been foiled before, and shall continue to be to this day. Certainly it is obsolete.

[?]: Young Master, you…

[YS]: Fang-er, you’re looking at the sky from the bottom of a well. You don’t understand the greater picture.(not sure about the last bit, as original was “great righteousness/principle”)

[YS]: You must know that Master Sun’s art of war is this world’s best.

[YS]: Its depth is beyond your young mind to comprehend.

[YS]: As a descendent of Master Sun, brother Wen Tai, please forgive…

[SJ]: It’s fine, brother Yuan. As you wish, I’ll take your nephew to the eastern region and let him know…

[YF]: You must know, General Sun, that the Yuan clan has had four generations of ministers. How about leaving a Sun clan descendent with us instead.(I asked some Chinese reader what the last part meant, because I couldn’t understand the vagueness; supposedly this is to equate political marriage to hostage-taking; Yuan Fang doesn’t want to be the hostage in the Sun clan)

{sfx: pa}

[SJ]: We’re not on the same page, brother Yuan.(not sure)

[SJ]: Excuse me.

[YS]: Fang-er, you will benefit greatly by learning the art of war from the Sun clan of the eastern region.(reworded)

[YS]: Besides, the Yuan clan has already fallen into the Loyalist trap. The only way to save it is…

[YF]: I’ll say it again, I won’t go to the eastern region; nor will I learn the Sun clan’s art of war.

[YF]: The world is full of possibilities, why insist on a small clan of a certain fame.(“the world amazing techniques too many to count…”)

[YF]: And why insist on this marriage between me and Sun Jian’s daughter.

[YS]: Since you’ve seen through it, I’ll be frank. What a waste it is to give up your future… for a Xiao Cha.

[YS]: When you look up through the opening of a well, you see but few stars.

[YS]: I believe your two teachers have observed the same and share my feeling.

[YF]: I’ve long since made smoke come out of their ears with my pigheadedness.

[YS]: I know. You’ve always been that selfish “darling”.(…’good thing’; I wanted to say “precious”, like Golem’s ring)

[YS]: Look at this place… It’s almost becoming your world of flowers.

[YS]: A nice trick to hide your ambition from prying eyes.(“…have no quarrel with the world, cover people’s ears and eyes”)

[YF]: But this really is my world, uncle.

[YS]: What’s the meaning of your life, Fang-er?

[YF]: Uncle, do you know how the sages interpret the meaning of life?

[YF]: They spend their life and energy to find the beginning of nothingness.

[YF]: So many of them, uncle, end up with a life squandered.

[YF]: They leave behind countless text teaching you the simplest ideas through the most confounding methods.

[YF]: Ultimately, your world and mine are one and the same.

[YF]: You are merely occupying a larger well than I am.

[YF]: But don’t worry, uncle, I know my responsibilities.

[YS]: The Yuan clan has had three ministers in four generations. Real men should have lofty aspirations. If you’re content to cultivate flowers…(“…aspiration in all directions… see through it all…”)

[YS]: that makes this place like King Zhou and Da Ji‘s Star-Picking Tower, doesn’t it.(or “star plucking tower”)

[YF]: Nice hinting there, uncle. But you’re not King Zhou; how would you know of his joy of star picking?(“words carry related meaning…”)

[YS]: Hoo.

[YS]: Fang-er, my King Zhou…

[YS]: Do you know how difficult it is to support your absurdity?

[YS]: This is not an era where you can grow flowers just because you want to.

[YS]: We don’t have a choice when we’re living in the same well.

[YS]: My world and your flowers were one and the same.

They shared the same root.

Don’t worry, father. I have learned the way of survival long ago.

It’s only because… we’re all in the same well.

In the same well.

[?]: Have you spotted Yuan Fang?
[?]: It’s so dark and deep. I can’t see anything.

[?]: We can’t get down there, Young Master.
[?]: Don’t worry, there’s no coming back after a drop like this.(“…from here jumped down…”)

[?]: Congratulations for your achievement, Young Master. Looks like your father will soon have his status restored.

[?]: I remember back in the days of the Ten Attendants, the Old Master had to hide you in Hebei with a different name just to keep you safe.

[?]: Who knew you’d be able to change fate through this battle at Guandu.

[?]: Haha, our Young Master is still of a high ranking bloodline after all. He’s duty-bound to come back, sooner or later.
